Jellyfin 10.9.2 not adding media_player entities

[PixelPusher247]

The problem

After upgrading Jellyfin Media Server to 10.9.2 I noticed my media_player entities for Jellyfin went unavailable, I tried deleting the integration and readding and it only adds one entity for sensor.jellyfin with the amount of people watching, but this also does not report the correct data, not detecting when devices are playing media.

Everything was working fine with the previous version of Jellyfin, so they might have changed something on Jellyfin's side and the integration needs to be updated?

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Sadly I could not find any errors in the logs, not even analyzing the complete debug logs, it just logs:
`2024-05-18 23:06:17.739 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.jellyfin] Finished fetching jellyfin data in 0.008 seconds (success: True)`
when adding the integration.

There are probably some API changes, at least looking at the TypeScript API client project, it is listed as "breaking changes" for the new 10.9.x releases of Jellyfin.
https://typescript-sdk.jellyfin.org/index.html#md:breaking-changes

Could not find any changes in the current released used python API client at https://pypi.org/project/jellyfin-apiclient-python/

Looking at jellyfin/jellyfin-apiclient-python#43 there might be a general issue with the latest pything client, so I assume there is a bit more work to be done.

After updating from 10.8.x to latest 10.9.x HA always reported "0 watching", which was used for some server shutdown automation but broke after the Jellyfin update 😸 thats why I took a look into this. Sorry for not having any clue how to solve this issue.

I had changed to a webhook implementation and hadn't tried the integration again. After testing it right now it added a new media player on playback. All seems to work again. Closing issue.

I must be doing something wrong, I've tried a lot of things to try and get this to work again, including deleting the integration and re-adding it. I still have the same issue since the 10.9.2. upgrade. Any suggestions?

[Langelus]

Having the exact same issue on my server since the 10.9 upgrade. Tested now to delete the integration and re adding it with Jellyfin version 10.9.9, still does not produce media player entities nor correct data for the current number of users streaming.

[ralgar]

Yeah, nothing has changed for me either - same issue going back several months, to the Jellyfin 10.9 release. No media players are populated, and the integration reports 0 watching.

Can we reopen this?
